Quinoa is a protein-packed grain. It really easy to cook and tastes great with pretty much anything. I took this with me for lunch a lot this past year.
Ingredients:
* 2 teaspoons grated lime zest
* 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
* 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
* 1 teaspoon sugar
* 1 teaspoon cumin
* 1 cup quinoa (uncooked)
* 1 (14- to 15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
* 2 medium tomatoes, diced
* 4 scallions, chopped
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Directions:
Whisk together lime zest and juice, butter, oil, sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cumin, and 1/4teaspoon pepper in a large bowl.
Quinoa usually comes in a box or a bag. Just read the cooking instructions.
Add cooked quinoa to dressing and toss until dressing is absorbed, then stir in remaining ingredients and salt and pepper to taste.
